Temporary recreational haven coming soon for Domino site
Earlier this month, the Eagle reported on Two Trees’ ambitious plans for a residential-commercial-open space development on the site of the former Domino Sugar refinery in Williamsburg.
Construction is still a ways off, however, especially since the plan has to go through the city’s Uniform Land Use Review Process (ULURP). In the meantime, Two Trees is temporarily transforming a vacant lot on Kent Avenue into a recreational haven.
The 55,000-square-foot former parking lot, between South 3rd and South 4th streets on the eastern end of the development, will be transformed by two independent operators into a neighborhood destination with a community farm, a bilingual reading room, green space, family-friendly bike courses and more.
